That post is from July 2010. Stanhope's comments are from yesterday. If you go to the main page of that jerk's blog, you'll further notice that he hasn't posted anything new since November 2010. He apparently just abandoned his blog (and with good reason). Perhaps Stanhope finally discovering the plagiarism should serve notice to all you worthless "bloggers" out there to either delete your blog when you get tired of it, or at least enable comment moderation so no one can leave comments in your absence pointing out what a douche you are.

As for "ruining his day", however, it probably wouldn't phase him if he did read the comments (original post comments: 2, current number of comments after Stanhope's link: 851 and growing) and he may never see them at all as he appears to be completely inactive on the blog.

Stanhope's approach is the right one, however, and it's too bad he didn't find out about the fraud at the time. The best way to handle some loser's real plagiarism, where they use someone's words verbatim and don't acknowledge the true author, is to shame and ostracize them. We don't need copyright laws to do that. Plagiarism is an ethical issue and speaks to one's character, but it shouldn't be a legal issue. There is also a big difference between copying someone's work and republishing it, and presenting it as if you wrote it yourself.

There is a lesson here for anyone not bright enough to write their own stuff. At least if you're going to "steal" from someone, hide it a little better by rewriting it and adding your own take. I mean, come on, even a loser like Troy Holm (the blog "author" who Doug Stanhope is having a field day with - see Occupy Troy Holm-) could manage a minimal amount of hidden theft. His problem was he was just too lazy to bother.

The blog is down (as is his twitter and other bits of his filthy thieving internet presence), but there were other stolen Stanhope bits throughout the whole thing, not just the one Doug called him out on. If you look at photos posted to the Occupy Troy Holm page on Facebook, there's a screen shot of an apparent transcript from Doug's "Abortion is green" rant on UK TV, as well. The poor cunt has run with tail between legs and taken down every hint of his existence on the internet, which is good in a way, but also sad that we can't continue to post more evidence of his level of douchery.

If the post you are commenting on is more than 30 days old, your comment will have to await approval before being published. Rest assured, however, that as long as it is not spam, it will be published in due time.

To be an individualist and libertarian is to understand that no one, anywhere, should ever be aggressed against by anyone, and that the state is the principal form of institutionalized aggression in our world.— Anthony Gregory

"Political tags, such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth, are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire."-- Robert A. Heinlein

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."--Thomas Jefferson

"Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness... It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast." - Mark Twain

"The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization." - Robert Anton Wilson
